Overview
Generate Street View is an action that allows your agent to generate a Google Street-View image using an address. Like other actions in the Other group, we will typically need more than one action for Street View to be useful.
Set Up
This action is relatively simple use as it only requires an address to work.
The field will require Address Line 1, City, State, Postal Code. If you have the contact’s address already in your CRM, you can utilize the contact.full_address variable.
Alternatively, if you are collecting the address in the conversion you can use the Node variable [Title of Objective].result. IE. Get Full Address.Result
Generate Street View - Action
Collect the address from the contact and use either that actions node.result or the contact.full_address if you updated that field with an Objective. If you already have the address, you can use the variable contact.full_address.
Add the variable to the location field within the Generate Street View Action.
Use a Statement to send the image to the contact by adding the variable node.StreetView to the Image to Send box within the advanced settings of the statement.
Send Property Image - Tool
Select the agent node you would like to send the image with, open it's tool kit and select Send Property Image from the tool list.
Collect the address from the contact if you don't already have it.
Call the tool using @@Send Property Image to get and send the image to the contact.
Variables
The action will output one variable named [Title of Generate Street View Action].StreetView. IE. Street View.StreetView which can be found in the Node Variables.
Example
I have a roofing company and am running targeted ads on Facebook after a hail storm came through our service area. When a contact books a roof inspection, we want them to verify that the image is the correct property.
First we will collect their full address and their full name with an Objective action. By Clicking the Add Objective button at the bottom, our agent will ask for both at the same time.
Now we can put the Result variable from that action into the Location box of the Generate Street View action.
We can book the appointment. Then use a Statement action to send the returned URL of the image to the contact.
We want to only send the image in this scenario:
First, we will uncheck Use AI to generate a response. (we want to control the response)
Then leave the Statement field blank. (we don't want it to say anything)
Open the advanced settings,
Check Move on without response from contact (this allows us to use an objective directly after this image is sent to determine if the photo is the correct property without the contact responding between them)
Finally, we can select our Node variable Street View.StreetView in the Link of image to send box.
We want to confirm that the image is the correct place and that is done best with an Objective Action. Then we will use a True/False action to split the contacts depending on if they confirmed the image or not.
After the confirmation, we will use the Set Field action to update a field on the contact record with the image to use with the notification that goes to my team after an appointment is booked.
If the image is not correct, we use a different Set Field action to update the same field with "Check house numbers carefully, Google Street View is wrong."
We will then send them a friendly message whether the photo was correct or not and move them to a Stop Responding action.
